ChatGPT: helped create a small summary for each plan and what it included
I have used WeVideo in my personal life for college but not in my classroom. It was super easy to use and very well organized. I created a video for my book trailer and also a video on Eurpoean Exploration. The home page is easy to navigate because it displays everything to the left of the screen as well as across the top. I think using a platform like this could bring a new level of engagement and student creativity. It would be awesome for students to use in social studies, science, or language arts to help deepen their knowledge while boosting creativity.
